Jadet, the Pheu Thai candidate for MP in Phitsanulok, responded to Dr. Aong Padipat by clarifying that the number 4 campaign sign is red as per the official design, but he is willing to make it clearer. He also denied rumors that he campaigned outside his party and stressed he has never attacked other parties.
On 29 January 2026, reporters reported that Padipat Santipada, a campaign assistant for the Prachachon Party, posted a message criticizing Jadet Chantra, the Pheu Thai candidate for Phitsanulok MP, over his number 4 campaign signs using an orange tone and lacking the Pheu Thai party logo. He also alleged Jadet was campaigning by urging voters to choose candidate number 4 but actually vote for party number 46 (Prachachon Party), which Padipat considered as abandoning his party and causing confusion, urging them to compete via debate stages instead.
Recently, Jadet Chantra, the Pheu Thai candidate for Phitsanulok MP, responded in comments on Padipat’s post to clarify all doubts and allegations in detail as follows.
Jadet explained, responding to Padipat’s observation that his campaign signs, including his name and number 4, “use red as per the pre-production design,” supported by attached photographic evidence. However, if the number 4 signs shown in the media or already installed caused some citizens to misunderstand, he sincerely apologizes and promises to improve clarity. If any part appears confusing due to color similarity, he is willing to correct and reproduce all signs.
Regarding claims that he told voters to choose number 4 but then select another party, Jadet denied this and requested “clear evidence, not just vague accusations.” He confirmed that whenever he canvassed, he clearly introduced himself as “number 4 candidate of Pheu Thai, number 9,” and throughout his campaign, he has never spoken ill of or referenced other parties, including the Prachachon Party.
On the issue of the debate stage, Jadet explained why he did not attend the previous event: Before the event, “Nong Folk” (a candidate from the Prachachon Party) called to say he might not attend. Jadet replied that he also had a prior commitment. Later, on the debate day, Nong Folk confirmed attendance, but Jadet could not adjust his prior engagement in time. However, he confirmed he will attend the next debate on 31 January and asked the public to follow and support him.
Jadet concluded by inviting anyone with questions to contact him directly, promising sincere clarification. He hopes this campaign will be a “constructive competition with mutual respect, judged by the candidates themselves and their party policies.”
